The M-08R adds a plethora of race-spec parts to the balanced, compact RWD M-08 Concept chassis: an example being the hopped-up drivetrain with a ball differential, universal shafts featuring low-friction cross joints and lightweight aluminum swing shafts, plus 5mm wheel hubs. Turnbuckle shaft suspension arm and steering setup components simplify fine-tuning of the M-08R, and titanium-coated shafts are a durable inclusion in the kit. Carbon fiber damper stays are paired with M-Chassis big bore aluminum dampers+ featuring dedicated blue anodized top and bottom caps for a touch of class, while a 20-gram ballast weight is included to get the chassis feeling just how you want it to.
Turnbuckle shafts in the steering can be rotated to fine-tune setup. A hi-torque servo saver is included in the kit as standard.
High performance M-chassis aluminum big bore dampers+ are included, and feature blue anodized top and bottom caps for a classy look.
Upper arms are also a turnbuckle shaft design. Clamp type wheel hubs (5mm) and reinforced freewheel axles are also in the box.
Battery holders are crafted in 3mm thickness carbon fiber material. Use the provided sponge tape as necessary to ensure snug battery fit.
A midship motor powers the rear wheels. The sealed rear gearbox houses a ball differential for limited-slip diff effect.
This image goes close-up on the double wishbone rear suspension. Note the carbon fiber damper stay for the big bore aluminum dampers.
Universal drive shafts employ lightweight 33mm aluminum swing shaft and cross joint for LF assembly type universal shafts.
Long suspension arms help the M-08R to maintain a stance low to the ground. A urethane bumper is included in the kit.
